Iceland Sternly Warned Of ‘Noisy’ Anti-Vaxxers by Epidemiologist

Iceland Health officials are trying to solve a puzzle, but the pieces simply aren’t falling into place as easily as they’d prefer. The puzzle? How to stop the anti-vaccination movement which continues to grow in the country. Like other countries around the world, subjugating those who choose to not vaccinate their children, or even themselves, is a high priority. However, Iceland is finding a similar theme to other countries around the world, which is that affluent, educated people are making the more difficult decision to not vaccinate. When I say “more difficult,” it should be noted that I’m asserting that choosing not to vaccinate can in most cases, create a pariah out of an otherwise sane person. The choice being difficult is something which most Governments have leaned on in prior years, but it seems encouraging that the gig of being intimidated by our neighbors and PTA officials has begun to go to the wayside.
